Congratulations on coming out!

As for Donald Trump, he lashes out like a child. His BIG insult is usually about somebody’s looks or he tries to claim they are stupid or lonely. However, Cher was “Lashing Out” because Mitt Romney was indirectly attacking her child.

Somebody like Trump however no doubt has no concern over such small concerns as family.
